Replacing a Cooling Fan Module

1With the fan module label facing upwards and the arrow on the fan module pointing towards the back of the system, place the fan module into the chassis. See Figure 3-5.

2Reinstall the fan module retention plate. The four pins on the plate fit into the corresponding holes in the fan modules.

3Secure the retention plate with the Phillips screw.

4Connect the fan module power cable to the power connector on the system board. Ensure that the fan module power cable is resting in the notch in the chassis brace.
